Speaking exercise

It is really far away even if we took 2.5h

It is very safe now, when we were in the qiandao lake area most of the tourists didn’t wear the facemark because we went there for the fresh air but if we wear the mask there why get there.
I had been there for 2 nights.
The hotel was very expensive

it is much convenient for Shanghainese to have a trip because people don’t want to take trains currently.

I think it is safe by
I think its s safe to take a train to there because it is close and we all know that these provinces which are very close and have no virus currently. Not the taking train is safe but if you take the plane to somewhere else it must be a faraway place so you don’t know if it is safe or not.

the health QR code checks everybody go where and come back from where and see if you have the potential virus or not.
When we arrived in Zhejiang we sign up for a Zhejiang QR code and then you can get a green code.
when we arrived the officer there said if you come from Guangzhou just stand in a separate line. Maybe they will be double check or do some more checks.

When we took off the trains, hundreds of people waited in many long lines for the security check
After that it was ok because the area is very large so people disperse.

People don’t used to only shopping, not very frequent like people in China.
Normally we don’t bring wallet because when we go anywhere to buy something we show alipay or WeChat but in most western countries it is not that convenient and we have to bring the wallet and cash and the card.

for me I have apple account but I linked to alipay. because for me I use everything by alipay I don’t need another pay solution
for WeChat hongbao is more popular during festivals. Tencent and Ali they have different purposes. one is for communication and alipay is more official and linked to the daily life or work.

For WeChat pay we just maybe when we go out for dinner we split the bill or hongbao for fun.
WeChat is not safe, someone stole my card info and the transaction was in Canada.
2 months ago the virus broke out and everyone stayed home and my card was used to buy something in canada

Fortunately I saw the message and called the bank to block the payment.
so after that I deleted my WeChat pay / I unlinked my card.
